Paul Pickering
Paul has been in the Piano trade for 17 years and in that time has gained a vast amount of experience starting his training at the London Guildhall University where he studied for two years in Musical Instrument Technology specialising in piano. From there he went on to study with one of Manchester's top piano technicians where his training took place in places such as The Bridgewater Hall, Cheethams School of Music, BBC Manchester, The Royal Northern College of Music, The Lowry and was also given the opportunity to work for a month at what was then Steinway's Park Royal Piano Rebuild Centre. From there Paul became one of four piano tuners at the Royal Northern College of Music where he was resident tuner for ten years. By the time he left, Paul was the head technician looking after a piano fleet of 140 pianos which consisted of all Steinway and Yamaha stock.
